Drying apparatus (10) has a casing (12), a cavity (30) formed in the casing for receiving an object, a fan (40) located in the casing and capable of creating an airflow, a motor (39) arranged to drive the fan. At least one opening (60, 62) communicates with the fan and is arranged in the casing so as to direct an airflow transversely across the cavity. The motor has a rotor which, in use, is capable of rotating at a speed of at least 80,000 rpm. This produces a high velocity, high pressure airflow which is capable of drying an object efficiently and quickly. The apparatus is suitable for use in a hand dryer.
